[0015] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the energy-saving device described in this application. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram of the energy-saving device of this application in its operating state. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0016] The drawings described herein are used to provide a further understanding of this application and constitute part of this application. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions herein are used to interpret this application and do not constitute an unreasonable limitation thereto.

[0017] Several embodiments of this application are disclosed below in drawings, and many implementation details are described in conjunction with the following description for clarity. However, it should be understood that these implementation details are not applicable to limit this application. That is, in some embodiments of this application, these implementation details are not necessary. Furthermore, in order to simplify the drawings, some conventional structures and elements are illustrated in a simple schematic manner. In each of the following embodiments, identical or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the energy-saving device of this application, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram in use. As shown in the drawings, this application provides an energy-saving device 1 which includes a fan 11, a control component 12 and a sensor 13. The fan 11 has an air inlet 111 with a guide path 1111 and an air outlet 112 with an outlet path 1121. The control component 12 includes a cooling pipe 121, a proportional valve 122 and a controller 123, the cooling pipe 121 is located on the guide path 1111 and has a water inlet 1211 and a water outlet 1212, and the proportional valve 122 is provided at the end of the cooling pipe 121 closest to the water inlet 1211. The sensor 13 is located on the outlet path 1121 and is connected to the controller 123. Sensor 13 senses the airflow temperature in the outlet path 1121 and transmits the airflow temperature to controller 123. Controller 123 controls the opening size of proportional valve 122 based on the airflow temperature and adjusts the amount of water supplied to the water inlet 1211 of the cooling pipe 121.

[0019] Based on the above, the adjustment component 12 of the energy-saving device 1 is used to control the amount of process cooling water 14 supplied. In this embodiment, the process cooling water 14 is introduced into the cooling pipe 121 from the water inlet 1211 and discharged from the cooling pipe 121 from the water outlet 1212. The water pressure at which the process cooling water 14 enters the cooling pipe 121 via the water inlet 1211 is between 0.2 MPa and 0.4 MPa. The cooling pipe 121 in this embodiment has an S-shaped structure that is bent multiple times. When the airflow is guided to pass through the cooling pipe 121 having an S-shaped structure, it can come into sufficient contact with the surface area of ​​the cooling pipe 121, thereby allowing the cooling pipe 121 to provide a relatively clear cooling effect on the airflow. The temperature of the process cooling water 14 is less than 18 degrees.

[0020] The adjustment component 12 further includes a humidifier 124 located in the guide path 1111 and on one side of the cooling pipe 121, and the controller 123 controls the humidifier 124. The sensor 13 senses the airflow humidity in the outlet path 1121 and transmits the airflow humidity to the controller 123, and the controller 123 controls the operation of the humidifier 124 based on the airflow humidity to adjust the airflow humidity in the outlet path 1121.

[0021] In this embodiment, the energy-saving device 1 further includes a casing 15. The fan 11 and the adjustment component 12 are located inside the casing 15. The water inlet 1211 at one end of the cooling conduit 121 of the adjustment component 12 is located outside the casing 15, and the other end of the cooling conduit 121 extends through the casing 15 to the proportional valve 122, then extends again and is bent multiple times to form an S-shaped structure, and finally extends and protrudes to the outside of the casing 15 to form the water outlet 1212. That is, both the water inlet 1211 and the water outlet 1212 of the cooling conduit 121 of the adjustment component 12 are located outside the casing 15. The casing 15 also has an inlet end 151 and an outlet end 152. The inlet end 151 corresponds to the airflow inlet 111 of the fan 11, that is, the inlet end 151 of the casing 15 corresponds to the guide path 1111 of the fan 11, and ambient air guided by the fan 11 enters the casing 15 from the inlet end 151. The outlet end 152 corresponds to the airflow outlet 112 of the fan 11, that is, the outlet end 152 of the casing 15 corresponds to the outflow path 1121 of the fan 11, and the fan 11 guides the airflow so that it is led out from the outlet end 152 through the casing 15. The sensor 13 is provided at the outlet end 152 of the casing 15.

[0022] Please refer to FIG. 2 again. When the user performs manufacturing operations via device 20, in order to ensure the normal operation of device 20 and the quality of the materials manufactured via device 20, device 20 needs to be arranged in a suitable space environment 10. This space environment 10 has predetermined temperature conditions and humidity conditions, and the temperature and humidity changes in space environment 10 affect the operating state and process stability of device 20. In this embodiment, device 20 is arranged within space environment 10 to perform manufacturing-related processes. The environmental temperature of this space environment 10 is approximately 23 to 25 degrees, and the environmental humidity is approximately 40 to 50%.

[0023] First, place the energy-saving device 1 in this space environment 10. The energy-saving device 1 guides the environmental air through the air inlet 111 of the fan 11 and guides the environmental air to enter the casing 15 from the inlet end 151 to form an air flow. The air flow flows along the guiding path 1111 and first passes through the cooling pipeline 121 located on the guiding path 1111. By contacting the pipeline surface of the cooling pipeline 121, the temperature of the air flow can be cooled and reduced. The temperature reduction effect of the cooling pipeline 121 can be adjusted by controlling the opening degree of the proportional valve 122.

[0024] As described above, when the controller 123 needs to significantly adjust the temperature of the air flow, it increases the ratio of the opening degree of the proportional valve 122. At this time, the process cooling water 14 is supplied from the water supply port 1211 through the proportional valve 122. The larger the opening degree of the proportional valve 122, the more the amount of water per unit area that can pass through the proportional valve 122, that is, the larger the water supply amount of the process cooling water 14 input into the cooling pipeline 121. In this embodiment, by flowing a large amount of process cooling water 14 in the cooling pipeline 121, the process cooling water 14 can quickly consume the heat on the pipeline surface of the cooling pipeline 121, keep the surface of the cooling pipeline 121 in a low temperature state as much as possible, and help the air flow to quickly cool down when it contacts the surface of the cooling pipeline 121. Also, when the temperature of the air flow approaches a predetermined temperature condition, the controller 123 can gradually reduce the ratio of the opening degree of the proportional valve 122 or close the proportional valve 122. At this time, the water supply amount of the process cooling water 14 input into the cooling pipeline 121 from the water supply port 1211 through the proportional valve 122 is small, thereby reducing the influence of the cooling pipeline 121 on the temperature of the air flow and keeping the cooling pipeline 121 in its original state as much as possible.

[0025] Also, after cooling the air flow to lower the temperature, the fan 11 guides the cooled air flow to the outlet path through the air flow outlet 112. The outlet end 152 is located on the outlet path, and the fan 11 guides the air flow to be discharged from the outlet end 152 through the casing 15. The outlet end 152 of the casing 15 is configured to blow towards the device 20.

[0026] As described above, the sensor 13 is used to sense the temperature and humidity of the air flow output from the outlet end 152 and transmit the sensed environmental temperature and environmental humidity of the air flow to the controller 123 of the adjustment component 12. After comparing the temperature and humidity of the air flow with the predetermined temperature condition and humidity condition of this space environment 10 based on the temperature and humidity of the air flow, the controller 123 continues to adjust the magnitude of the water supply amount of the cooling pipeline 121 until the sensed temperature reaches the predetermined temperature condition and humidity condition required for the device 20. Finally, the energy-saving device 1 maintains the humidity and temperature of the space environment 10 to meet the predetermined temperature condition and humidity condition.

[0027] As described above, this application provides an energy-saving device, which includes a fan, a regulating component, and a sensor. A cooling conduit for the regulating component is located in the path of the airflow introduced by the fan. The cooling conduit cools the airflow to lower its temperature, and the fan guides the cooled airflow to an airflow outlet, which is configured to blow air towards the equipment. A sensor is located at the airflow outlet and is used to sense the temperature of the airflow output from the outlet and to transmit the sensed airflow temperature to the regulating component. The regulating component continuously adjusts the amount of water supplied to the cooling conduit based on the sensed temperature until the temperature reaches a predetermined working temperature required for the equipment. In this application, energy consumption can be reduced by a cooling method that replaces the compressor with a cooling conduit.
